Who would be so pissed at lemmy.world to DDoS them?
They might want to consider using Cloudflare or a similar solution if they don't already.
Spez maybe?
Brands don't have to do shit like this. They have weird trolls with weirder parasocial relationships to intellectual property to do it for them, unprompted.
Itβs the rise spezkin. Super Reddit Hyper Loyalists so invested in their upcoming karma farming fortunes that any threat to Reddit gets met with scorched earth tactics.
β¦Iβm only kidding, I hope this doesnβt become a thing.
he's an astroturfer though, is he really low enough to stoop to ddos? thankfully the fediverse is diverse and resilient to attacks to any one instance lol
He'd be. But his fanbois already do that for him so he doesn't have to do it himself and worry about consequences.
You mean his employees?
No, I mean his fanbois. His employees would get paid to do that stuff and then there would also again be a way for him to bear the consequences. His fanbois don't get paid and he doesn't bear the risk.
Probably just a terrible person who is bored
As a terrible person who is bored, that seems like too much work
Huffman/Musk
Yes something like Cloudflare would be very good. Even I have it on my tiny test instance.
It doesn't break federation? I recall it broke federation for kbin, thought it'd be the same for Lemmy sue to the underlying tech being the same.
It definitely works with Lemmy, but that could certainly explain an issue Iβve been having with kbin!
Or ThreatX, I believe they are more inexpensive than CF
Elon
That lmao dude that kept creating spam communities?
I couldnβt load anything on Mlem for a few minutes but other than that itβs just been slow for me
